The Tennessee Titans have assembled a very intriguing group of edge pass rushers ahead of the 2020 season.

While the group lacks top-end frontline talent, it boasts a handful of good players with a variety of strengths.

"It is somewhat of a younger group if you will, but it’s an athletic group that has some speed," general manager Jon Robinson said. "I think the depth of that position is pretty good right now. It doesn’t mean we won’t add somebody, but I feel pretty good about where we’re at from a depth standpoint."

However, whether the Titans' current crop of outside linebackers will prove to be enough to get the job done in 2020, not whether the group is deep enough, is the real question at hand.

THE STARTERS

Robinson on Vic Beasley: "We saw some skills there that we could hone."

Harold Landry and Vic Beasley

Landry and Beasley are very similar players. Both have a quick first step and are at their best when utilizing a speed rush on the edge.

In 2019, his first season as a starter, Landry led the Titans in sacks with nine. His best stretch of the season was from Weeks 8-13, during which he recorded a sack in five straight games.

It was certainly an improvement for Landry from his rookie season, but the Titans will need him to take another step forward in 2020.

Beasley has had an up-and-down NFL career. He led the league in sacks in 2015, had two disappointing seasons after that and stepped things up a bit in 2019 with eight sacks.

Robinson said the Titans had an interest in Beasley they "felt like there was some ability or skillset there that we could hone." It will certainly take some honing, but there's a quality skill set, there.

THE ROTATIONAL PLAYERS

Kamalei Correa and Derick Roberson

The Titans re-signed Correa, who they traded for during the 2018 season, to a one-year deal on Tuesday evening. Correa played a critical role for the Titans during their 2019 playoff run, recording six sacks during the final eight games of the season.

Roberson also came up big for the Titans late in 2019. His first real action came against the Saints in Week 16, and he recorded two sacks of QB Drew Brees in that game.

Correa and Roberson's biggest issue in 2019 was something out of their controls: they were on the field way too often.

Both players are talented and undoubtedly worth a roster spot, but neither is the sort of player that a team should have to rely on to play a lot of meaningful snaps.

The addition of Beasley should allow the Titans to pick their spots with Correa and Roberson, and there are far worse pairs of rotational players in the NFL.

THE DEPTH

D'Andre Walker and Reggie Gilbert

Walker was the Titans' fifth-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, but he missed the entirety of his rookie season due to an injury sustained in Training Camp.

The Titans traded for Gilbert just before the start of the 2019 season, and he was productive in his role as a rotational and depth player.

Robinson and head coach Mike Vrabel both expressed an eagerness to work with Walker in their respective conference calls with the Nashville media on Wednesday, and it will be interesting to see what he can contribute during what will be his de facto rookie season.

Gilbert will probably be fighting to earn a spot on the roster in Training Camp, but he will be helped by the NFL's expanded roster size and the fact that he has produced within the Titans' system.

WHAT'S MISSING?

The biggest thing that's missing from the Titans' corps of edge pass rushers is a big-time starter who consistently gives opposing quarterbacks fits.

Only one player on the Titans' roster, Vic Beasley, has ever recorded at least 10 sacks in a single NFL season, and he did it four years ago.

Even if the Titans bring in free agent OLB Jadeveon Clowney, something that seems to be a potential at this point, that won't solve this problem, necessarily, as Clowney has, also, never recorded 10 or more sacks in a season.

That leaves a question on the table: even though they don't have top-end talent, do the Titans have enough collective talent at OLB to get the job done?

The answer to that question, if whoever calls the Titans' defensive plays in 2020 does a good job, is probably yes. However, it is certainly a risk.

The Titans' exit from the 2019 postseason came because the pass rush couldn't get anywhere near Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes.

This year's crop of edge rushers is better than the 2019 crew, but by how much is a question that won't be answered for a while.
